The closer it gets......

To draft time the more I love the idea of janoris Jenkins becoming a panther. I hope we select a playmaker on defense. And I personally haven't got to watch Jenkins a lot but I've heard and seen nothing but good things from him on a football perspective. Maybe has off the field issues.

Even if we don't take Him, I just hope we have a playmaker on the defense come April. Wouldn't mind a safety or a DE. But I'm in man love with Jenkins. I know we probably have to trade back or taking him at 8/9 would be a reach. But never the less I hope to see him in a panthers uniform. How much do u guys like him. Or who do u want with our first round selection

Jenkins looked like a baller when he lined up against the SEC. If he can produce like that against these guys in the NFL then lets take him.

I'd be all for taking him, kinda smallish but played AJ green and Julio Jones better than most could.

I dont mind "smallish" if they have the skills. Captain... To me is at his best in the nickel. I think Jenkins could hold his own at the cb2.

Hey guys I'm kinda retarded when it comes to posting vids on here. If any of u could post some of Jenkins's highlights and stats and what not it would be greatly appreciated

Much appreciated pal

While he was at UF, he was better than Haden. Haden, I believe, had more INTs but Janoris was able to shut down his side of the field better than Haden. Haden's measurables might be better but Janoris possesses better cover skills. No one knows if he will be as good as Joe Haden in the NFL but if you are basing it off what you have seen from college he will be just as good, if not, better.

scott wright did a good interview with him.

excerpt:

Scott Wright: I know you seriously considered going pro last year as a junior. What type of feedback did you get from the NFL at that time and what were the key factors in your decision to go back to school?

Janoris Jenkins: I got some good news if I decided to come out. I was looking at it that I just had surgery and my dad, my mentor and I had a talk and we all decided that I would come back, get my degree and finish my four years at Florida. I decided to go to North Alabama because I didn't want to run from my problems. I had done things that I wanted to face up to as a man and I wanted to go to North Alabama to learn, fight adversity and show everyone that I'm not the kid they say I am.

Scott Wright: How would you describe your game to someone who has never seen you play? What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Janoris Jenkins: I'm quick, fast, explosive, great ball skills. I've got a feel for the ball. I have a tendency of playing off coverage and peaking into the backfield too much so I feel I have to work on that.

.

.

.

Scott Wright: How would you describe your personality and is it different on the field?

Janoris Jenkins: It's not different. I have the same attitude on and off the field, but on the field you have to take it to a different level at one point. You gotta stay in their face and you gotta talk trash. Do anything to distract them.

.

.

.

Scott Wright: What were you hoping to prove to scouts at the Senior Bowl?

Janoris Jenkins: That I'm a great kid. I'm respectful, humble. That the decisions I made in the past are behind me and that I made stupid mistakes as a kid.

Scott Wright: Do you have any goals in mind for the NFL Draft?

Janoris Jenkins: I'm just trying to get in the NFL. I just want one opportunity.

Yeah I think the injury really was a big factor in him heading back to UF.

probably not as big as him needing a fresh start like newton and do it right.

i've needed the same thing a time or two.

He returned to UF before he got kicked off. He was planing on playing his senior year at UF.

[rayzor]

you're right.

my mind was more fixed on why he didn't go pro last year.

To me, Carolina ought to snag Quinton Coples. He can be a bookend to Johnson, and then possibly slide inside to tackle on passing downs.
